The aim of this study is to assess social support dimensions (providers, satisfaction and different support actions) in patients with eating disorders (ED), looking at diagnosis, socio-demographic and clinical characteristics, and self-concept.
A total of 98 female ED patients were recruited. The ages of participants ranged from 12 to 34 (Mean = 20.8-years-old, SD=5.61). Patients have a primary DSM-IV-R diagnosis of anorexia nervosa (61.2%), bulimia nervosa (27.6%) or an unspecified eating disorder (11.2%). Social support was assessed using the Escala de Apoyo Social Percibido (EASP). This scale measures social support providers, satisfaction and specific social support actions, which can be grouped into informational, emotional and practical support. Self-concept was assessed using the Cuestionario de Autoconcepto (AF-5).
The two most frequent providers for these patients were mothers (86.7%) and partners (73.1%). Patients' satisfaction with social support was high and they reported that they received informational support more frequently than emotional and practical support. Family self-concept showed positive relationships with social support dimensions.
These results show the importance of the family network in connection with these disorders and its relation to self-concept.
本研究旨在评估饮食失调（ED）患者的社会支持维度（提供者、满意度和不同的支持行为），同时考察诊断、社会人口学和临床特征以及自我概念。
共招募了98名女性ED患者。参与者年龄在12至34岁之间（平均 = 20.8岁，标准差 = 5.61）。患者的主要DSM-IV-R诊断为神经性厌食症（61.2%）、神经性贪食症（27.6%）或未特定的饮食失调（11.2%）。使用感知社会支持量表（EASP）评估社会支持。该量表测量社会支持提供者、满意度和特定的社会支持行为，这些行为可分为信息性、情感性和实用性支持。使用自我概念问卷（AF-5）评估自我概念。
这些患者最常获得支持的两个来源是母亲（86.7%）和伴侣（73.1%）。患者对社会支持的满意度较高，他们报告说获得信息性支持的频率高于情感性和实用性支持。家庭自我概念与社会支持维度呈正相关。
这些结果表明家庭网络在这些疾病中的重要性及其与自我概念的关系。
